Okay, with all honesty. This lag is starting to p*ss me off.
I pay $13.00 a month for a 2D game with a dying community and a company like EA/Mythic can't even fix a server lag issue in less than eight days...? I rely on being able to PLAY Ultima Online in order to update my website, but the second I login I move like a horrible slideshow.
Fix this **** now. It's really, really starting to get aggravating. I don't play UO religiously since I have tons of other things like school, homework, work, etc., but not once have I logged in in the past week and been able to run five feet in less than 10 seconds on a broadband connection. How many traceroutes, pings, GM pages, support emails, support telephone calls, and staff members does it take to fix lag? We're talking lag here folks, not an irrecoverable server crash.

My accounts are being set to not renew after this billing cycle. If the lag isn't fixed, I'm not going to change it.
It just doesn't seem like it's that high of a priority. Blessed spell books on seige seems to be a more pressing issue.

The game is worthless unless you can move and do things without being aggravated every 2 seconds.
Lets go EA Mythic, people are pissed!

It seems obvious that all this began when they started preparing for mergers and transfers in Warhammer. (you know that game which is the new WoW killer after Age of Connan tanked) Unfortunatly EA dosn't care if this bothers or annoys you. Warhammer is their baby and momey maker right now. So, if they have to step on your toes, I don't think they really care.

LOL Obviously you play on siege for a reason, no? With a lag of 110 on lets say atlantic, or great lakes, playing a mage by the time you cast a second spell you are dead. You can studder with a dexxer because he swings automatically however a mage doesnt cast unless you push the button. On a dexxer all you notice is a skip in your step. For a mage there is a skip in your step and a lag in casting.
I dont know why this is even being debated. We need a tech to get on this issue and it needs to be fixxed now. This is a game we are paying for. Unless they want to make the game free or give me my money back they need to fix it. People are right, its been 10 days with no update. Do your job!!

nah there is not much difference between ping 30 and ping 110. It really starts to get laggy at 140-150 for me.
but yah, what the hell is going on.
Can't keep throwing away money for something you CANNOT PLAY!!!

hovering between 250 and 300 ping on Cats 3 times normal
No, in atlantic there's a huge lag far from some days.
Oki, devs????
I don' post my ping. It's not important.....

Ok, this issue has gone on too long without an explanation or a resolution. This is poor customer service and is completely unacceptable.
This is because all we want to continue to playing and don't take a drastic solution. Close the accounts.
I thinks that EA, if all we close our accounts, is afraid and perheps it changes is politic. And maybe EA think also at all your players.........

Woman, not man
Yes, i've been playing for 7 years. And far from 7 years there are also the same problems....
I think that it's the time to be brutal.
To be or not to be?
This is the question that they have to resolve
It's like a wildcat strike.
I'm very bored.
I hope that some other players think like me and i hope that they boycott OSI.
And i am like a chinese on the river that wait for passing the enemy

Man the lag on europa tonight has been APPALLING!!!!!!!!!!
As soon as another player steps on my screen the whole thing just locks up.
It's been some of the most rediculous pvp ive seen for a while! Playing dexxer or mage is completely screwed. I feel like EA has nurfed pvp.
It's actually interesting to note how much lag can actually completely ruin my perception of UO!
Oh how i crave for those days when i could run around without the restricting shackles of latency

i actually think the dev's should pause the event until this is fixed. Even if it's the event thats creating it, just sort it out asap, something is going seriously wrong!

ok so i read the post from Joanna about the shards been down, and sherry the mouse being fixed, but why cant Joanna come on this thread and let us know about the lag, would it really be that hard to do that

even so
if it was me and i didnt know i would have the courtesy to at least say so
its been 8 days after all.
i know im going on and on about this lag issue and people are probably getting tired of my whingeing buts its a serious issue,
at the moment im paying for 4 accounts,on a game i cant play that has event content thats stopping on the 17th.and no end in sight to it being fixed, you cant even get a reply from EA about it its just all falling on deaf ears.

The Lag is an EA issue ONLY if it starts in one of the last three lines of the trace.
In Snakeman's cases, he's having an alter.net issue, not an EA issue - one that gets made worse at the times that EA's problems kick in to compound them.
For example, when I'm having trouble with EA's server, it's at the point where I leave Sprintnet for EA's servers, going to Lake Austin.
IF the problem is at "fert" or "edge", or one step before or after, it's EA - if 2 or more steps before those servers, then it's the net backbone - unless of course, it starts on the first hop, in which case it's either your ISP or your modem.

Im not having lag.. but I'm not going into the new areas, if it was EA wouldnt everyone be affected? or would it just be server regions?
I'm hoping the lag issues have been resolved. I've not had any lag today.

just wanna declare that the lag is still on europa. please fix it for us as well?
anyone with a slightly low ping is lagging badly, but those with speedy cons dont seem to suffer, meaning 70% of europas european pvp'ers with relative high latency are suffering majorly from this.

The lag is fixxed for me yea!
yea!
It's back worse than ever for me :X
It's obvious where the ping issues and packetloss is... EA needs to check thier hardware. I'll be shutting my last account down if it's not addressed & stabilized i'll be out. I can deal with the imbalances, bugs, and everything else, but what fun is it when you can't even walk around in the game and do something as simple as putting your suit back on without getting frusturated cause it takes two minutes...

Yes.. or maybe the found a cure for dupisum.. and are now implamenting itMaybe they are doing physical maintenance on servers and that's why it is lagging again...maybe they are currently fixing it.
One can only hope
The lag is terrible right now on Atlantic.
At least for me and a few others I know playing.
We seem to be doing the 3 step freeze dance.
Unplayable at this point here.
An update on the issue would be most welcome.
